1. See Damage Increases by Size to calculate the damage for a weapon larger than Medium or smaller than Small.
2. Weight figures are for Medium weapons. A Small weapon weighs half as much, and a Large weapon weighs twice as much.
3. When two types are given, the weapon is both types if the entry specifies "and", either type (player's choice at time of attack) if the entry specifies "or", or each end of the double weapon is a different type if the entry specifies "/".
4. The hp value given is for Medium armor, weapons, and shields. Divide by 2 for each size category of the item smaller than Medium, or multiply it by 2 for each size category larger than Medium.

A reitschwert is hybrid weapon between a bastard sword and a cut & thrust sword: the result is a well-balanced hand-and-a-half sword typically used by élite mounted soldiers: with its elaborated handguard and heavy blade, designed for effective slashing blows but also for precise thrusts.

The reitschwert is a finesse weapon. A character can use a Reitscwhert in conjunction with the Weapon Finesse feat, applying her Dexterity bonus (if any) to melee attacks she makes with the weapon.

A character without Exotic Weapon proficiency (bastard sword) can use a Reitscwhert two-handed as a martial weapon and apply the Weapon Finesse feat (if any) only if using the weapon in two hands. Characters proficient with the Reitschert may treat it as a bastard sword for the purpose of any of the following feats: Greater Weapon Focus, Greater Weapon Specialization, Improved Critical, Weapon Focus, and Weapon Specialization.
